Atoms of metals x, y and z form face-centred cubic (fcc) unit cell of edge length Lx, body-centred cubic (bcc) unit cell of edge length Ly, and simple cubic unit cell of edge length Lz, respectively. If rz=32ry;ry=83rx;Mz=32My and Mz=3Mx, then the correct statement(s) is(are)
[Given: Mx,My, and Mz are molar masses of metals x, y, and z, respectively. rx,ry, and rz are atomic radii of metals x,y, and z, respectively.]

  1. A Packing efficiency of unit cell of x> Packing efficiency of unit cell of y> Packing efficiency of unit cell of z
  2. B Ly>Lz
  3. C Lx>Ly
  4. D Density of x> Density of y
